Plans new stadium slowed down by politics

The club is looking to play in a new stadium by 2012, one that will allow the club to figure in the Champions League. Several propositions have been wiped off the table by local politicians.


The propositions that are still in the running (Schaarbeek and the industrial grounds in Anderlecht) are now regarded as too expensive.

Walter Vandebosche, member of the local council and the Brussels parliament, wants to keep the club in Anderlecht. "The club could play his European matches at the Heizelstadium. Otherwise, we could adapt the current stadium."
